Drop It Like It's Hot

Good morning everyone, thanks for another great week of conversation. Once again, I wanted to remind everyone that we cannot always agree, and that the point of what goes on here is to be exposed to new ideas from perspectives we may not be familiar with. It can sometimes be contentious but if we just bury these issues and pretend that they don't exist nothing will ever change.

I wanted to remind everyone that I am still looking for a Latina contributor. There are issues that are very specific to the Latino community and I as a Canadian Black woman, am hardly fluent. In an effort to make this blog as intersectional as possible it is my hope that someone will read this and take on this role. If you are interested in joining the team, please send in two examples of your work and a short note about why social justice is important to you. This is a non paid position but you must be prepared to blog either weekly or bi-weekly. Preference will be given to those who are able to do a weekly commitment. Please send your info to womanistmusings (at) gmail(dot) com. As always those who are interested in submitting a guest post may use that address as well. Please include a link back to your blog, an image that identifies you and a small three line bio.

About Me

I am the mother of two darling little boys that fill my life with hope. They have inspired me to help raise awareness of the issues that plague this little blue planet.
If you are looking for a blog that is all about how wonderful and rosy this world is, turn right because this space will not be for you. I am a committed humanist. I believe in the value of people over commodities. I believe in the human right to food, clothing, shelter, and education. I am pacifist, anti-racist, WOC. My truth may not be your truth, but I intend to speak it nonetheless.
